11  Make me a clean heart, O God, ♦︎
   and renew a right spirit within me.
12  Cast me not away from your presence ♦︎
   and take not your holy spirit from me.
13  Give me again the joy of your salvation ♦︎
   and sustain me with your gracious spirit;
14  Then shall I teach your ways to the wicked ♦︎
   and sinners shall return to you.
15  Deliver me from my guilt, O God,
      the God of my salvation, ♦︎
   and my tongue shall sing of your righteousness.
16  O Lord, open my lips ♦︎
   and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.
17  For you desire no sacrifice, else I would give it; ♦︎
   you take no delight in burnt offerings.
18  The sacrifice of God is a broken spirit; ♦︎
   a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
19  O be favourable and gracious to Zion; ♦︎
   build up the walls of Jerusalem.
20  Then you will accept sacrifices offered in righteousness,
      the burnt offerings and oblations; ♦︎
   then shall they offer up bulls on your altar.
